    My blood doesn't boil. It percolates.

    Coffee is something I drink non-stop. When I'm out? Coffee. At home? Coffee. When I'm bored? Coffee. On the can? Coffee.

    A definite pattern.

    It doesn't give me any sort of high though, it just tastes good.

    Coffee and me don't go very well together. It makes me nervous.

    This even improves the smell of your breath, with the same amount of caffeine, and no bladder problems.

    I do like caffeine, yes. But everyday? No thank you.

    The strongest coffee I have ever drunk for sheer KICK delivered has to have been the Civet filtered coffee available from like Selfridges and other rich people stores like that. The coffee beans are eaten by a creature called a Civet which is kinda like a ferret, theres a pokemon which actually looks like this creature (Sentret I believe) the beans are passed through but the Civet can't digest them instead the digestion process makes the coffee bean ferment slightly giving it a richer, fuller and more potent flavour and kick it worked on me better than a quad espresso has

    That's pretty much how it works; the get the rush when your body starts using the sugar, but you feel tired when there's still a load of insulin that's already been released, and no sugar to use. The only effective difference between sugar and caffeine is that caffeine has a tolerance component (whereas sugar doesn't), and isn't broken down by insulin.

    I like caffeine, but after my early high school career, four cans of Mountain Dew a day was not good for anything other than flipping out. Life in general has improved ever since I started drinking only water.

    The only highs I get are from trolling and pretty girls. Sometimes, I'll combine the two for 2+2=5 action.

    Is that why you teased me in all of the Ciddies speeches, Tav? You think I'm a pretty girl?

    No. In your case, it's full-on trolling. I mean, c'mon, you're a dude. Why would I hit on a dude?

    Not a fan of coffee, even the smell gives my stomach somersaults. The only time I drunk it was when I was about to colapse of tiredness on St. Patricks Day a few years back, when I was expected to go out and party.

    Used to drink coffee everyday but the effect on my teeth/breath was not very pleasant. It didn't seem to wake me up much faster than normal so I just stopped drinking it.

    I do think it smells delicious though.

    I drink about half a pot of coffee every day, not including the free hot coffee flavored water they give us at work.

    I ordered some "tirimisu" at Joe's Bistro and it was served to me upside-down and slathered in some kind of sallow espresso-custard with rum and reverse chocolate sadness. But I guess it was caffeinated. :sophia:
